With your help, we change lives.

We offer a safe environment where individuals can open themselves up to the tools and support they need overcome the serious complications of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and other related disorders. Upon admission, an interdisciplinary treatment team is assigned to each patient based on their individual needs. This means every treatment plan is unique and is designed to fit each individual.

As the referring provider, you are an essential part of your patient’s treatment team. Throughout their time at EDCare – from admission, time in treatment and discharge/aftercare planning, their clinical team will keep you involved in the treatment process. Within the first week of treatment, your patient’s Primary Therapist will contact you to arrange coordination of care and how often you would like to receive updates from our team.
